I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

    Disgusting behavior, sorry to hear that. For some reason these accounts seem to stay up despite being reported constantly.

      It is, and thank you. This is why I usually pull up the modlog first whenever I see someone trying to punch left.

        Yep, calling out the bigoted left-punchers helps call into question their unsourced claims, and pressures moderators into cleaning up the bigotry. It’s a win-win.
